TSL Offers Free Webinar on After School Programming The Texas State Library and Archives Commission is making a free webinar available to librarians throughout the country. “School's Out @ Your Public Library: Program Ideas for After School” will be offered on Wednesday, February 17, 2010, from 11:00 a.m. until noon (EST). Registration is required and may be done online. Providing innovative programming for the school-age crowd during the school year can be a challenge, especially when libraries are competing with children's busy after-school schedules. Participants in this webinar will learn how to provide fun and educational programs for children ages 5-12 that will have them running to your library after the school bell rings. Programs featured include Chess Club, Fun with Science, Art Explorers, Craft Time, and a KidTrekkers around the world cultural program. Anne Neidinger, a children's librarian at the Lone Star College-Tomball Community Library, will be the presenter. She has presented at several Texas Library Association conferences and co-authored "Igniting a Children's Summer Reading Program on a Piggy-Bank Budget" in the Texas Library Journal (2006). Anne also co-wrote the Elementary Programs Chapter of the 2009 Texas Reading Club manual. -------------------------------
